Who We're Looking For

We are looking for a well-organized, practical and hands-on individual who wants to become a valuable part of our team.

This is not strictly a desk-based H&S position.

You do not need to be a certified mechanic, but you should be comfortable around HD trucks and equipment. Being able to understand a mechanical concern, communicate effectively with drivers and mechanics, source the appropriate parts or repair and follow the issue through to completion is a significant asset.

You should also be comfortable working directly with drivers. This includes training and coaching employees, recognizing good performance, addressing problems when they arise and holding people accountable to company standards.

Samsara and TruckMate experience are significant assets.

Ultimately, we are looking for someone who can identify a problem, determine what needs to be done, take ownership and follow through until it is resolved.

What We Offer

• Full-time, permanent employment.
• Competitive compensation based on experience and qualifications.
• Key role within the management team.
• Direct involvement in H&S, fleet and daily Ops.
• Direct access to ownership and senior management.
• Opportunity to make meaningful improvements to our safety and fleet programs.
• Locally owned, family-operated working environment.
